The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and eGectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by Physicians, as it
does not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con
dition. A bottle kept in the house fol
use when the diseases make their ap
pearance, will save doctors bills anC
a long spell of serious illness. A tria
will convince You of these facts. 1t j
positively sold by all druggists ant
general dealers in the land. Price, =

meeting in Newport, while crediting
President Cleveland with a genuine
aud sincere desire to further the in
terests of the reform, could not close
their eyes to the extent to which
party influence and party pressure
had forced him to violate the spirit
pf the reform movement. Virtually
Mr.. Curtis admits that Mr.. Cleve-
land found himself in the dilemma
of holding his rudder true to the
reform and losing all party support,
or Of maintaining his party sym
pathy by yielding very largely his
reform principles. If Mr.. Cleveland
had made q strict adherence to the
principles of civil-seryice reform the
keynote of his administration he
would have isolated himself from
the great mass of his party, for in
truth there is no sincere goodwill
for the merit system among the &C,
tive members of the party. Theil
activity is chiefly inspired by the
expectation Of office as the reward
of party service. These are not the
days of disinterested public service
The patriots who consent to run oul
party machines for us do not do Sc
for nothing or upon the mere pros
pect Of getting public employment
only as they display their fines
through competitive examinations
They look for political preference a
the reward for what they can do il
managing primaries and in "hust
ling" in voters at elections. Cleve
land has demonstrated that single
handed no president can do much il
freeing the public service from tn
domination of the spoils system
The reformers have great mission
airy work to do before any presiden
can maintain their principles. The
meant well, but just now they ar
realizing that there is a downward
road to a place said to be paved witt
good intentions.
